Whsts the 'fish ' made from ? im assuming tofu since its called tofish....think ill give that a miss as i hate tofu but the rest looks tasty.

​Yeh its normally made from tofu , there are a few pubs around soho/ london that have been doing this for a while now , I made it myself once just wrap the tofu in nori seweed stuff , then dip in a beer batter and fry , taste just like a dead fish fucking horrible

I have been collecting used oil from chippys on and off for over 10 years and never seen one using beef fat , its rape seed oil , or ground nut oil in every one I have collected from ,
maybe if you live on the set of heartbeat or somewhere like that

well that was what I was told by an award winning chippie in North Devon, he certainly uses beef dripping and I expect there are more out there. like I said, its not unreasonable to ask first is it?

I've been to try it out, it's about 2 mins on a bike from my house.
Very nice food, the battered sosmix sausages are good. Did not try the tofish so can't comment on that. They do very good stir fry as well and cakes. Matter food took over a more traditional Chinese take away and the people who ran that take away have stayed on to cook so there is a good blend of typical take away and organic vegan food. Will go again, although it is a bit more expensive that most of the take away food in Fishponds.
